In the bottom photo, Bar 6 appears to be split below the lateral band - a diagnostic feature of the eunotus-like fish. I'd say that you have A. cf. eunotus (Orange-tail/Orangeschwanz).

Do you see any females or can you tell me how to tell ?
is it typical for the females to be alot smaller with same coloration as the males or will they show typical yellow hues ?

Yes, they are one of the most commonly available Peruvian apistos.

Your photos seem to show only males. Like you say, females are a bit smaller, commonly have a yellow body with the lateral band broken into spots. Search for photos under A. eunotus; most will be A. cf. eunotus Orangeschwanz/Orange-tail.
